'Team Australia' Pitch in Multimillion-Dollar Fuel Ads
The ads will run across TV, digital and outdoor sites as the government says 4.1 billion litres of fuel are locked in.
- On Monday, the Australian federal government will launch a $20 million advertising campaign titled "Every little bit helps," encouraging citizens to reduce car use amid the global oil crisis.
- Disruptions in the Iran-blockaded Strait of Hormuz have constrained global oil shipments, prompting Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to implement a National Fuel Security Plan managing supply chain pressures.

- Liberal frontbencher James Paterson criticized the taxpayer-funded ads as political propaganda, while officials urge drivers to improve efficiency by "driving smoothly" and "unloading excess weight."
- Transport Minister Catherine King warned the energy crisis will have a "long tail," stating the government is contemplating further relief measures for households and businesses in the upcoming budget.
